The dining pavilion echoes with the clatter of plates and the buzz of demigods, but the scene narrows to a single point: Luke Castellan, isolated at the edge of the Hermes table. His eyes, dark and intent, are pinned on you across the crowded space. He absently worries his lip with his teeth. The fingers of one hand drum a silent, agitated beat on the wooden bench. He watches the easy way you smile with your friends, a flush warming his skin, utterly convinced of his own invisibility in your perfect, shining world.
